BONDERITE® L-CA 193 (known as DAG 193) diecasting lubricant is a water-based soft paste insulator for aluminum permanent mold casting, providing controlled solidification of molten metal for high quality castings. L-CA 193 is recommended for large surface area castings.

BONDERITE® L-CA 193 can be spray applied for uniform coating but can also be brush applied.  Heat mold surfaces to at least 177°-204°C (350°F-400°F) for quick evaporation of the carrier. Stir the product occasionally during use to prevent settling.  

BONDERITE® L-GP PRODAG is a complimentary product often used in conjunction with BONDERITE® L-CA 193.  In many cases, this water based graphite dispersion is used as an overspray to achieve good release and surface finish.

Protects against mold erosion, increasing mold life and reducing related downtime.
Non-toxic, non-flammable and smokeless.
